📋
Why Configure Toolpaths?
Different license tiers (e.g., Fusion Personal vs Manufacturing Extension) unlock different toolpaths
Mastercam levels (Mill Essentials, Mill 3D, Multiaxis) have different capabilities
Knowing YOUR available toolpaths helps generate accurate quotes for jobs
PRISM will only recommend toolpaths you can actually use

💡 PRO TIPS
• Use same WCS origin on flipped part
• Leave 0.010" stock for finish passes
• Check tool length before each op
• Run at reduced feed first pass
🔄
Adaptive Clearing
Roughing Strategy
What is it?
Adaptive Clearing is a high-efficiency roughing strategy that maintains constant tool engagement by using a spiral-like toolpath pattern. Unlike traditional pocketing which uses parallel passes, adaptive clearing follows the shape of the material and adjusts the path to keep chip load consistent.
✓ When to Use
Roughing large volumes of material
Hard materials like steel or titanium
When tool life is a concern
Deep pockets (2xD or deeper)
When you want faster cycle times
✗ When NOT to Use
Finishing operations (leaves scallops)
Very thin walls (can cause vibration)
Simple 2D profiles
When machine can't handle high feed rates
⚙️ Key Parameters
Stepover
25-40% of tool diameter
Depth of Cut
Up to 2x tool diameter
Optimal Load
5-15% radial engagement
Feed Rate
2-3x traditional roughing
📝 How to Set Up (Step by Step)
1Select the pocket or area to machine
2Choose your end mill (3+ flutes recommended)
3Set "Optimal Load" to 15% for roughing (or 5-8% for hardened steel)
4Enable "Stock to Leave" (0.010-0.020" for finishing)
5Verify toolpath in simulation before running
💡 PRO TIPS
Use helical entry or ramp entry to avoid plunging
High helix angle end mills (40°+) help evacuate chips

How to Check Your Machine's Optional Features
CNC machines come with various optional features that affect cutting parameters and capabilities.
Here's how to determine which options are installed on YOUR specific machine.
📋 General Methods to Check Options
Check the Parameter/Settings Screen - Most controls have a parameter or settings page listing installed options
Look for Option Codes - Some controls display option codes at startup or in diagnostics
Review Purchase Documentation - Original quotes/invoices list all purchased options
Check the Machine's Serial Tag - Sometimes options are noted on the nameplate
Contact Your Dealer/Reseller - They can look up your machine by serial number
📞 When in Doubt, Contact the Manufacturer
If you cannot determine your machine's options, contact your local distributor or the manufacturer directly.
Have your machine serial number ready - they can look up the exact configuration.
